This Pacas lot originates from the late‑season harvest on José Angel’s Cielito plot. Cherries undergo an initial anaerobic phase in sealed plastic bags during transport from the farm, allowing low‑oxygen fermentation to begin at whole‑fruit stage. Upon arrival, the coffee is de-pulped   and transferred to concrete tanks for a traditional washed fermentation carried out without added water, promoting a higher concentration of endogenous mucilage enzymes.

This lot was sourced by magnificent peeps from Luna Coffee.

Flavour Profile:

This espresso roast profile is characterized by honey sweetness, quince aromatics, and a rounded, low to medium acidity, medium body, with lingering apple crisp notes.
